Free-agent LB Josh Bynes (Ravens), who was cut from the team but brought to the practice squad at the start of September, will sign with the Detroit Lions within the next day. He is expected to provide linebacker depth in the wake of the injury to LB Stephen Tulloch (knee).

Baltimore Ravens LB Josh Bynes said he hopes to be able to start at inside linebacker this upcoming season but wants to be part of a rotation if does not start. "I'm definitely a guy that can be a starter. Even if I'm not a starter, [I want to be] someone that can rotate and a guy that can contribute on this team as much as I know I can. And the coaches know that I can as well. I want to continue to prove that there's a reason why I'm here and there's a reason why I've been here four years," Bynes said.

Baltimore Ravens LB Josh Bynes (finger) said he should be ready to return after the bye week after missing Week 7 with a finger issue. "I should be able to play the next game," Bynes said. "If I had a choice, I would've played Sunday. Watching the game was horrible. You never watch your guys go out to battle without you. I'm getting better, it's healing up kind of fast."
